Jody is dedicated to his craft. His excellence is partially due to sticking with his lower class cars instead of migrating to faster classes like many do. Surprising he doesn’t have more championships.

Good tread and a lot of good information for a stock eliminator hopefully.
after years of running Comp and being a sideshow in Top Dragster, I'm wanting to get back to real racing. I am a lot better bottom bulb racer than I am a box racer. I started in Comp. What is the thought on consistency in slower cars when a turbocharger is involved? I am putting together an AF/S Dodge Daytona. I will use a Holley ECM.

I apologize because I didn't read all the responses, but...Didn't take long to see Jody Lang's name come up. I think most of us can agree he is the John Daly of stock elim. How many people watching a PGA on TV would think John Daly could ever win a major? Years of experience and handling pressure just like J.L. My swoopy 99 Camaro is one of the most consistent 1/4 mile cars I've ever owned. It just doesn't care about slight tail or head winds (it just needs a good driver) I see people asking about what stocker should I buy? My answer is always the same....The fastest one you can't afford!

Another problem ..Not fast enough, but on the other hand, not "slow" enough. Sounds confusing but I can explain further if you want. I'd say, if you're a died in the wool Mopar guys, find a newer EFI stick car that runs DF/S or EF/S.That's your best shot at turning on some win lights against 8, 9 and 10 second cars.

Just maybe a veteran racer like Lyn Smith with his fancy new Q/SA '55 can ruffle a few feathers next year. I hope so.

Actually it's funny you ask. The guy that kept beating me was one of the dirty dozen.I did beat him in a final but he beat me like a red headed step child for two summers before I finally got around him.

Jeff,
I'm glad that you took my friendly dig in a good natured way. The Dirty Dozen.............I hate those guys. The Matty Box is a crude and primitive tool compared with what's out there today, and good grief its hard to detect. Sorry to stray from this thread's intent.
